Switched On


Switched On is a compilation of Stereolab's first three releases, and was originally released in 1992. The album's name is in tribute to Switched-On Bach and other similar titles from the late 1960s to 1970s that feature Moog synthesizers as the primary instrument. Switched On was later licensed to Slumberland Records for a US release, and Rough Trade Germany, for that country, both in 1992.

Background

The album, compiling the Super 45 and Super-Electric 10"s along with the Stunning Debut Album 7", forms the first part of a pentalogy of Stereolab rarities collections along with Refried Ectoplasm, Aluminum Tunes, Electrically Possessed, and Pulse of the Early Brain.
